| I picked up all the LF wakeskates including that one at the expo and I thought they were really heavy, I'm not sure if those were bad prototypes but they where heavier than my waterlogged Kampus and LF I would say they weighed about almost as much as the bi-levels. |

WaKeSk8Er1234, Yeah, I checked em out also and they were pretty heavy, im glad someone agrees with me on that.
Parky, Sorry, I can't remember what the bottom looks like so I guess it wasn't impressive. |

| KYLE NEVER RODE FOR FLOW. He was just being the male model that he is. So hot right now(I know it was played like a year ago but I'm not creative enough to come up with anything better). What up Kyle. |

There is a lot more to it than that. LF did not directly purchase Butter.
As for the Armada, I didn't find it to be too heavy, but I like my skates on the heavier side. It has a variable edge, so it is more rounded in the center of the board and gets sharper towards the tip and tail. I would have to ride it to comment on it more, but when checking it out, it seemed like it would be a cool board. I would like to ride one. |

yeah Dave Barousse, I was under the impression ( correct me if Im wrong )that the company that owns LF, OBrien and HO purchased all of Triton's brands (double up, blindside, butter,etc..) the question is will butter be back under their new roof, or will they just fade away.

| I'm not 100% sure on what will happen to Butter, but I don't recall seeing a Butter skate in the Triton booth at Expo. |
